(TC10.51] Issue with Temp folder change - WIN10 & WIN11

[oOoZEUSoOo]

Hi,
Has someone tried to change Temp folder ?
I tried to change it in ZIP configuration, but TC seems to always use %TEMP% (c:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Temp\)

Am I doing something wrong ?

Best regards, Frederic.

From the help file:

Directory for temporary files
Determines the directory where the internal ZIP packer puts its temporary files (only necessary when packing to removable disks):

So unless you are still useing old 1.44 Mb floppy disks, you are not likely to see the option used - it is not for the temporary files that TC makes for viewing files inside a zip archive

Indeed this isn't meant to change the entire TEMP folder. It was added because some people had small TEMP drives (e.g. on a RAM drive), so using it for making large archives wouldn't work.

No, only 5"1/4
Thank you for your answer, I understand.

I was thinking we could change the temp folder to prevent Windows Defender to have an eye on this folder. Of course I would have put it as an excluded folder.

Thanks again, best regards.
